The $250,000 that Obama likes to cite as rich based on the highest tax bracket during the Clinton years, fails to take into account inflation. To compare apples-to-apples, the equivalent amount today is $400,000.

    Most people I know who make $250k and more work very hard. They are business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, investors. These are not people flitting around in Vegas, partying etc. Punishing people for pursuing opportunities sends out an absolutely absurd message

    You'll note that Obama didn't ask for anything that would affect the members Congress. He is an ugly bastard, but he isn't completely stupid.

      He would have a riot on his hands if he did. They're all greedy grubbers. Obama is the biggest one of them all. What I cannot fathom is that it isnt obvious to the voters of this country! It is absolutely mind boggling!

        Harry Reid, born and raised in the sh*t hole of Nevada, (Searchlight) and a life-long public servant is a multi-millionaire. Now that is mind boggling. He has been on graft since he was on the Nevada Gaming Comission.

    I just don't understand how they can argue this with a straight face. There isn't one wealthy citizen out there paying the bulk of his/her taxes on "income." You have got to take it from the middle class who supply the base and the compliance.
